It is how works. If the winner maker 1.5x of the buy in, none will want to play the tournament.
The marketing of Poker (and any cassino) is "play 1000usd and won 1.000.000usd".

how i understand it was KO tournament, so you'll need to eliminate as much players as possible. 12,25$ for each!






:top: agree! bankroll management is a fiction to give you play poker a little longer,
there is no difference how to lose 1$ x 200 times, 10$ x 20 times or 200$ once in Sunday Million!
:D i rly wrte ths/
Indeed it was a tournament KO, I prizes for the head of paid 550 $:fight:It was a good game, it was an event WSOOP

It seems to me that everything is fair, because the one who took the higher place was more likely to take risks.

It seems unfair but that's also the part that makes tournament so profitable, when you win or get in the first 3 you hit the jackpot, you can turn a few 55cents in 150 dollars and that's the beuty of tournaments

At first u need to try get ITM, tu just pay your investiment.. then u need to try to get FT, because de difference payouts from itm to FT isnt that huge.
That's the thing.. to become a profit player, u dont have just get to ITM u have win tournaments, and thats is the edge from recreative and pros i guess.

I completely agree with you. If you look at the tournament lobby, you can find a table for the distribution of prizes. In different poker rooms, it looks different. In some, it is expressed in a prize equivalent on others in a percentage ratio.

Yes, this distribution is also very frustrating for me, in tournaments only the first 3 places is a good win, and this is 8 -12 hours of play)) it's very long and it's almost impossible to get into these 3 places))

In gambling nothing is fair, if it was fair then you could never bluff or badbeat... Think for a minute. :)

It varies from site to site. I think they should pay out more to the final 9 players rather than pay more places.

If to remove for example $6 for 15-20 places. That you in 4 hours of a game in poker won't receive anything at all. Unless it is fair?

umm

not sure if I'm missing something but if your playing a 3.30 with 3k entrants your payouts will be much larger than your example.

Yes it infuriates that worthy prize receive only the final table and if to be more exact 3 first places, after sitting 6 hours and take off from the tournament 10-30 place and get 10 15 baiiny and this for 6 hours of game that already inside boils up.

Exactly, the big money is for big players, the small money you can reach by sitting out and waiting others to fail trying to get the big money. Prize distribution is, what it is. Check it out before, then you won't be disappointed later.

Tournamente prizes

I agree to increase the prizes and decrease the number of players paid, it is hard to stay hours playing and the prize is not worth it

You're right, the difference is a lot, it should be a bit more tight, so reward the time spent
